EP15 The importance of networking

Welcome to episode 15 of the Fail Forward podcast.

 

In this episode I’m going to share my insights about the importance of building a broad network around you. It’s something I didn’t think too much about the first time around. But when I opened my mind to self development and started learning how to create a strong, resilient business, time after time networking came up as a critical marketing channel. 

 

Tim Sanders' popular quote says: “Networking is your net worth” and it’s something I now totally understand. 

 

In this episode you will learn:

What happened at my first ever networking event

Why networking is about so much more than selling your business

The unexpected gains from networking

How to stop networking getting in the way of your business

 

Running a business can be lonely. There will always be things you can’t talk about with your customers, your team, your friends or your family. Networking enables you to build lasting relationships that fill a gap and ensures that there are people in your corner. Cheering you on as you succeed, lending a listening ear when things are challenging and giving you high fives as you achieve your goals.
